Answer to Question 1

C
A burn that destroys the entire epidermis, dermis, and underlying subcutaneous tissue is a third-degree burn. First-degree burns involve only the epidermis. Second-degree burns involve the epidermis and dermis. Nonthermal burns are caused by electricity, chemicals, or radiation and may be first, second, or third degree.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: A client who is immunocompromised is at risk for infection. Bacteria accumulate on food surfaces which should be washed with warm soapy water between each use. Boiling dishes is not indicated. A client may drink pasteurized milk or juice and bottled water. Leftovers when refrigerated within two hours may be consumed.
